Default Account selected at Logon screen- Change?

Even tough they do appear in alphabetical order in logon screen, I don't think that changing your account name now (after it already being created) will help you.
As far as I can remember, If you change account name after creation, it will not change it's folder names: C:\users\Whatever
And I think logon screen looks into it.

EDIT: I just checked it. Renamed my account into "AAAA", which should bring into the beginning according to the alphabetic order.
As I have speculated it did't rename user folder, and it didn't change logon order.

Therefore, I think the only way is, taking it into consideration while creating user accounts.

EDIT2: There is a confirmation of my theory from technet: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...d-a88c07607f4e

I was researching this same issue and found this registry key can be modified to work:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI
LastLoggedOnSAMUser = Computername\username (or domainname\username for a domain account)
LastLoggedOnUser = .\username (or domainname\username for a domain account)
* Notice the DOT (.) before the username. This is to be used if it is a local machine account.

I'm assuming you want to do this because another person is using the computer and you want them to be able to log right in on boot up, without them having to take one extra mouse click to choose another user.

I was under the impression from my configurations I set up for my company that the last user to log in the one that will come up. On our company Windows 7 Pro systems, if I log in to a system as my admin account (local or domain, depending on the system) and then I reboot and log in as the user, their account will come up as the default each subsequent reboot until another aco**** is used.

How can i setup login to windows this way??

It works that way by default...the last user to log in comes up after a reboot.

hm, not for me. I always get login screen with all accounts shown in alphabetical order from left to right.
Tested it on win 7 ultimate SP1 and W7 pro SP1. Any ideas?

That's most likely due to the fact you aren't logging into a domain.

Yes i dont have a domain. It is possible have logon screen like this without domain?
